New projects Energi will partner with Legendary on include Alexandra Milchan‘s “Life Behind Bars,” “Pet Therapist” and the reboot of Syd and Marty Krofft’s “Electra Woman & Dyna Girl.”

At his former post, Lesinski oversaw digital content development, production and distribution, and contributed to Legendary’s digital strategy.
